Shri S.G.S. Srinivas Babji, Director of Thermal at APGENCO, extends a warm welcome to delegates at the 210th OCC Meeting, shedding light on the pivotal shifts in the power sector and their implications for everyday consumers.
Reflecting on his past experiences representing NTPC, Babji recalls the challenges of 2017, marked by the increasing integration of renewable energy (RE) into the grid. He recounts a significant moment when Karnataka's grid demand was met solely by RE sources, underscoring the need for enhanced flexibility in thermal power generation.
Acknowledging the crucial role of flexibility amidst evolving energy demands, Babji emphasizes the imperative for all stakeholders to adapt to changing grid dynamics. With projections indicating a substantial rise in RE integration and grid demand, Babji stresses the need for generators to invest in necessary modifications to support grid operations effectively.
Babji's insights highlight the importance of flexibility in ensuring grid stability and reliability, offering a glimpse into the challenges and opportunities shaping the power sector's future. By fostering discussions at the 210th OCC forum, Babji aims to inspire stakeholders to embrace flexibility as a cornerstone of sustainable grid operations.
